How Machine Learning Detects Living off the Land (LotL) Attacks
Elite cybercriminals prefer LotL attacks because they’re incredibly hard to spot. Instead of deploying obvious malware, attackers use the same trusted tools that an IT team relies on daily, such as PowerShell, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and various integrated utilities on almost every computer. When attackers use legitimate system tools, traditional security software thinks everything…

Hackers Exploit SVG Files with Embedded JavaScript to Deploy Malware on Windows Systems
Threat actors are increasingly using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files to get beyond traditional defenses in the quickly developing field of cybersecurity. Unlike raster formats such as JPEG or PNG, which store pixel-based data, SVGs are XML-structured documents that define vector shapes, paths, and text, enabling seamless scalability. This inherent flexibility, however, permits the embedding…
